The case against six officials from municipal and private enterprises in Dnipro has been sent to court. They are accused of misappropriating UAH 26 million in budget funds during the maintenance of the city’s landfill.
This was reported by the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
According to the investigation, a municipal enterprise of the Dnipro City Council signed a contract with a controlled private company to maintain the city’s only official municipal solid waste landfill, covering more than 130 hectares. The contractor was supposed to ensure the facility’s operation, including levelling and compacting waste, covering it with soil, and maintaining service roads.
Investigators found that the private company in fact carried out most of this work only on paper, while it was actually done by the municipal enterprise’s own employees and equipment. Despite this, officials signed falsified completion certificates, on the basis of which UAH 26 million was unjustifiably transferred to the firm’s accounts between July 2024 and January 2026.
Those suspected include the director of the municipal enterprise, his deputy, the chief accountant and the chief engineer, as well as the director and chief accountant of the controlled company. Law enforcement officers allege misappropriation of property through abuse of office and official forgery.
